[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 235632, member: 43563"] Hey [USER=38579]@abcdefg12[/USER] Firstly, people may have different opinions on this, but if I have ever been asked about a deal the firm is working on, I don’t think I have chosen one that is ongoing. Instead, I have chosen deals that the firm has completed on, purely because I don’t work there. I could be wrong, and maybe it’s an ego thing, but I don’t think many firms publish their ongoing work commitments purely out of commercial sensitivity or confidentiality – so unless I work there, I wouldn’t know for sure. I’m not going to tell you to find a deal that has completed if you feel it is safer to actually find one that the firm is working on, and to do this I would suggest moving away from the firm’s website and looking into press releases on the firm, its clients, or its practice areas. I’m sure there are some resources out there speculating what’s going on with who and who is representing them. Once you’ve found this, the focus of your answer shouldn’t be “how you’re following it” because truthfully, it’ll be through the news or social media. Guide your answer to explain “why you’re following it”. Highlight why this matter interests you enough to follow it, why it could be important to the firm or its clients, what you think the impact is that will carry on the market, the firm or its clients.
